I loved Catcher in the Rye! For those who liked it, check out the book Prep.
I just finished reading:
1. Sideways-Very good, way better than the movie.
2. Trading up by Candace Bushnell (oh how I miss sex and the city!)
3. Playing with Boys- disappointing
I'm currently reading the Da Vinci Code.
What are you reading now? (JANUARY 2006)

I finished The Dogs of Babel - which was incredible, but so sad. It is about a man who's wife falls from a tree and he tries to get his dog to tell him what happened. It sounds implausible - but it really worked. I also just figured out that two of the books I picked up over Christmas vacation I've already read.

Now, I liked Prep just fine but wasn't too keen on Catcher in the Rye. But maybe that's because it was forced reading back in the day.
I just finished Hand me down by Lee Nichols and am starting Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. The movie comes out this year (Tom Hanks) and I'd like to read it before then.

Is there still a discussion thread on the Time Traveler's Wife? If so - you guys have to participate! I loved that book.
I just finished the Interpreter of Maladies. It was a very easy read. I'm going to have to ask Tankgirl how accurate it was.
Now I'm working on "Flow: The Pyschology of Optimal Experience" and "The Hungry Ocean" - I've also been reading a series called the Bookman's Wake, Bookman's Promise etc. about a retired cop who opens a book store and chases down rare book mysteries. Pretty cool!
